Response to Cherie Burbach: Fighting Fair

I personally believe Burbach’s Fighting Fair blog was a great one. It is rare when arguing is not found in a relationship. It is a good sign and can strengthen the relationship, but it can harm it as well. It is important to learn to argue the right way. Burbach mentions very effective points in this blog. I agree with Burbach when she mentions that the setting of the argument is very important. This is an important key because the arguments between you and your partner should be kept only between you and your partner. When arguing we find that many times we say inappropriate things. It is important that we maintain respect in our arguments without offending our partner. Burbach also mentions a very unique point. We must be aware of our arguing style. Your partner must be able to understand what you’re trying to emphasize. Most important, the goal of an argument is to reach an agreement. If this is not achieve there is no use yelling and shouting.

I find that the steps Burbach lists are in order of importance. This is a good tip to follow when trying to illustrate something through writing. The reader must grab your most important points first and the least important later on.
